The probable eleven of Porto-Atlético

The Atlético de Madrid life is at stake before him Porto. Either all or nothing. The mattress team needs to win in ‘Do Dragao ‘ and wait to see what happens in the AC Milan-Liverpool from San Siro. And he will do it with a defense of circumstances and with the absence of real evidence with an eleven. Neither in the session on Sunday nor in the session on Monday, after the defeat against Mallorca, Diego Simeone he specifically worked with an eleven. The team that jumps onto the field of play is only in its head, although it is true that everything indicates that the cards are more or less defined.

It is true that there are some specific doubts in some positions, variations that could occur. There, there is a gap for speculation. But where there seems to be is in the case of the defensive line, because what it has Simeone It is what it is. Only three defenses could travel to Portugal, with the injuries of Trippier, Savic and Giménez, and the sanction of Felipe. This being the case, he will have to improvise, with a center behind formed by Kondogbia and Handsome. The sides will be for Llorente and Lodi. And the goal, obviously for cloud.
